PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- Police officers were checking on a disturbance Saturday night when they found someone trying to keep a low profile -- a convicted sex offender wanted in Massachusetts

Ryan Hathaway, 32, wasn't forthcoming with his real identity when police spoke to him at 451 Broadway, and the officers found out why: he was wanted as a fugitive by the Massachusetts parole board, Martins said.

Hathaway had been convicted of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, and he is required to register his whereabouts with local police.

He hadn't done so in Pawtucket, where he was living too close to the Henry J. Winters Elementary School. He'd been arrested by Rhode Island state police last year, and by Attleboro police in 2011, on charges of not registering as a sex offender.

The Pawtucket police charged him with failing to register as a sex offender, obstructing police, and living within a school zone.
